Nowadays, people can barely live without songs. I don't think you who're reading this guide are not a fan of music for the reason that this is a guide to transfer music from iPhone to iTunes.

Why do you need to copy iPhone songs to iTunes Library? iTunes uses iTunes library files and your iTunes Media folder to organize and store your music and other media.
